All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.

We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.

Man wishes to be confirmed in his being by man, and wishes to have a presence in the being of the other…. Secretly and bashfully he watches for a YES which allows him to be and which can come to him only from one human person to another.

And if there were a devil it would not be one who decided against God, but one who, in eternity, came to no decision.

Religion means goal and way, politics implies end and means. The political end is recognizable by the fact that it may be attained--in success--and its attainment is historically recorded. The religious goal remains, even in man's highest experiences, that which simply provides direction on the mortal way; it never enters into historical consummation.

We can learn to be whole by saying what we mean and doing what we say.
